I decided to finally get out and do a POTA activation today. The bands have not been the best over the last couple of weeks so I have not been up to too much. I read today that the experts are calling what has been going on a "Propagation Tsunami" of back-to-back CME's and Solar Storms.
Todays propagation numbers while I was activating were: SFI=111, SN=83, A Index=17, and the K Index=2.
I drove down to Lemoine Point, VE-5141, and in 26 minutes had 24 contacts in my log. Contacts were made on both 20m and 40m.
Here's todays QSO map:
Radio in use today was my KX3, set at 10 watts. Antenna was either a 20m or 40m hamstick, both worked very well.
Hopefully the bands will now start to behave and settle down.
